To be glad that people are realising the effects of filler!

Sounds like it

ETA: agree with pp, it's not just about the cancer aspect. They look bloody awful. I can't understand the whole concept of so many people changes their faces to look like that.

Good lord. I've watched the video now. Really this stuff should be banned! Sounds absolutely awful and if it's really not dissolving then they are falsely advertising surely. Also the effects of having it dissolved sounds just a dangerous.

If we are comparing it to alcohol, I would say filler and Botox etc is definitely more like the crack cocaine of cosmetics. A short lasting result, addictive and dangerous. A few of my friends have started having Botox and they have all reported that they have then notice that it's made their eyelids saggy, so you're just creating yet another problem that the industry will have to fix for you. I do know a women who started on Botox really young and did have her eyelids surgically altered, so it's obviously a 'thing'. Seems absolute madness to me.

It also wrecks mental health of vulnerable people.
Of course the injectors who are making money from this industry will promote it till the end.
Bit like sunbed companies of the past.

💯
I wouldn't be surprised if @biglipslittleblips has a vested interest in the filler.market so is prepared to.defend their income no.matter what.

You're over-focusing on the cancer aspect. That isn't the only reason most people won't have fillers. The main reason is that they're not insecure sheep. I don't get fillers because I know that they look crap and I don't need them. I like my face, my wrinkles and lines are proof of a life well lived.

Ageing is a gift that some people aren't lucky enough to experience. We should be embracing it not trying to pretend we're teenagers!

Fire away, anyone that wants it…
I like my face. Always have, TBH.

Strange logic, we're weird because we don't want to inject shit into our faces? I mean you do you. Personally I like my face to look human, thanks.

@glittercunt in the context of 'everyone is beautiful' then yes. They were beautiful before.

In the context of what is generally found to be attractive/unattractive, recessive chins are universally cited as an undesirable physical trait.

Red wines contain a large array of polyphenolic constituents that have been shown to block carcinogenesis and to inhibit the growth of tumors in whole animals, or in cell culture by altering the activity of certain enzymes or the expression of specific genes.

Just fyi. But like I said, I don't drink, so this isn't relevant to to me. But if you want to facts, there you go.

They were beautiful before.

Yes I'm a healthy weight and have a healthy BMI, thank you.

I didn't say I was okay with alcohol? I don't drink and actually hate the stuff. But the lady who commented wasn't comparing it to ALCOHOLISM, she compared it to a glass of wine. Which actually has been proven to have positive health benefits if drunk in small amounts, and can in absolutely NO WAY be compared to having filler shoved in your face.

My friend that's early 30's wants Botox. I did ask if she had seen it can gone wrong. I think people should be aware of pros and cons and make an informed choice . She wasn't aware and is thinking about it. I don't honestly think she needs them but it's her body and her choice 🤷‍♀️

Nothing per se - I suspect the maker of the video is conflating veneers with crowns as so many people seem to!

What's wrong with veneers? 😩

So many young women in their 20’s and 30’s are having it done and it makes them look 40+ instantly. It’s not for me, I just hope those that have it done don’t regret it

Ok. I will do the best I can then. Short of giving up living.

Erm, Im not sure I said that did I? Where have I said everyone gets cancer and that you might as well smoke drink etc?

You said, you dont do anything that causes cancer, well living in general means you have a risk of cancer. Some other things that people do may or may not increase that risk, but we all have a risk of it, even people with clean lives (Im one of them)

I think it’s not so bad if you’ve sagged but plumping up already plump young skin is madness. What I notice is that in older women it looks ok for that first few years and then it starts looking hard and mask like. Amanda Holden and Tess Daley are examples of this ( Amanda more so). I remember a couple of years ago DH saying about Tess whatever she had done is very good. This year I notice it all looks a lot harder. Idk whether it’s a build up of filler over time or putting more and more in but it’s def not looking natural

Have you watched the video?

I would take this whole clip with a grain of salt, given this photo of Sophie Monk (on the right) is fake.

If they’re using a fake photo as an example, I just can’t take this seriously.

Shame younger people are using fillers I.e in there 20s to fill an image they think society approves off.

It is low self esteem and plays havoc with mental health.

Of course everyone should avoid proven carcinogenics but also be extremely cautious of things of which we need time to tell.

It has a knock on effect, and it's addictive.

I follow several injectors on nstagram. I find the whole thing fascinating. I’ve noticed that girls start with having their lips done. Then they get their chins ‘enhanced’ to balance out the profile. Then they have their nose injected and then have the jaw line added to.

Alcohol is poison.

You're free to get as many fillers as you like, but when it migrates and/or blocks your lymph nodes and you end up ill, you'll be sorry.
